Having a backyard garden and some fruit/avocado trees around the perimeter of my yard is on my "some day" list. Right now I spend way too much time playing in the woods and don't really get any down time until early summer, which pretty much starts in July here. But I still have a driveway to...

That's a nice tying station! I just use my WFH desk lol. I can take a break and tie a fly. Then go right back to work. But it is totally unorganized.

In the process of teaching my son to fly fish... and untangle tippet. But yesterday we fished a small tailwater near our house and it was ice cold. I don't think I've ever fished a river that cold in June. Not sure how deep the reservoir is but it must be quite deep. It is fed by snow melt and...

I contacted Google Fi support to see if they could offer me a deal on a new phone and I got the same suggestion. But then I would have to drive to Reno and hang out or worse leave it and come back another day. So with the over one hour one way drive I figured I would end up spending a bunch of...

I've had a surprisingly good run with phones. 5 years out of the one that met it's demise today. 4 or so years out of the one prior. In fact I am surprised, with the amount of backpacking, backcountry skiing and fly fishing I do, that I haven't killed more phones by dropping them in the river...

The only thing I am worried about is recovering my 2FA codes from Google Authenticator. Half of which are for work accounts. If I don't get them back, it is going to be a long week.

Same here. In fact I got to my destination and found them right where I left them. One time I had left a wrench on the bolt head of a LCA that I was torquing to spec. Found that the next day after driving up into the woods to walk the dog. 😳

It was a 5 year old Google Pixel 6 Pro. The warranty aged out this past November. So I can't complain too much. It was just as fast today as was the day I got it. And I was already thinking of upgrading to get the new AI features.

I installed a new track bar in my JL today. Then went for a test drive. Heard a crunch - crunch and only then remembered that my phone was sitting on my front bumper. Ran it over with both front and rear wheels. Only the back glass of the phone cracked. But the font display doesn't work. I don't...

Oh great. We started with 69 different genders. Now we have to have 69 different types of aliens as well? What's next 69 different flavors of ice cream ... oh wait.

You mean to keep their funding alive, right?

Last line of OP's post says: "BTW, this is a 2019 4 door with a manual transmission, if that is helpful."

100%. I have a 2wt 6' rod, a 2wt 7' rod, a 3wt 7.5' rod, and all the usual suspects up to a 9.5' 6wt. The 2 and 3 weights and the 6 weight get the most use. The 9.5' 6wt can roll cast a heavy double nymph rig with weights and an indicator without even blinking. But I still prefer the little...

What type of trout is that? Here's one from this past Friday. After work. 16 miles from my house. It's bitter sweet though, since the little river is one of the hardest places I've ever fished because it is usually a zoo with guides and "extreme" fly guys. But in the early season when no one...

Emperor Palpatine? You mean Bernie Sanders, right?

I had the original Pat M/Ts on my JL in a ~35" size (measured 34 1/4"). And they balanced just fine. But... they were fucking scary on the pavement in the rain. The rear end would randomly let lose in corners. And there was basically no braking traction on wet pavement. That said, though, they...

I don't understand how these other countries feel like we owe them something. We are giving them a taste of their own medicine and they act like those people who lay down on the freeway to protest oil or whatever.

There are a few things in modern vehicles that I like; ABS; Fuel Injection; Power Windows when I have the factory doors on; Air Conditioning. Everything else -- like VVT; all the nanny safety stuff like traction control (one of my least favorite); the stupid things like throwing the vehicle in...

oh, thanks. its back up now.

Interesting. When I go to that site it shows "We're currently experiencing a temporary technical issue and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible."
